Pretear Chapter 1 Growing up..

"Oh no! I'm late!!" Himeno rushed to the door, with a piece of toast in her mouth. "Ah, Himeno! Be on time for dinner ok?" screamed Kaoru her father.

She didn't hear it but she continue speeding faster than a bullet train to her school. She was in college now and she is still as cheerful and spirited as ever. The Leafe Knights, too, have grown. Mannen entered high school, Hajime and Shin were in elementary school while Gou, Hayate and Kei were working as usual.

Himeno has lost some of pretear powers due to an accident she had encountered a few months ago. She still has some left but not too powerful enough to become white pretear.

So the knights must search for a new pretear as a monster has invaded the Leafe garden.

Himeno rushed to the lecture hall rushed to find a seat. She panted furiously for oxygen. She looked around the lecture stage; no one was there.

"Whew! I thought I was really late!" Himeno gave a huge sigh of relief.

Mannen's life...

He's 14, and became more handsome, cool and less proud and bossy. The girls in his school are all crazy about him. The boys too admire him for his atheletic performances and studies. He's indeed very popular.

"Hey Mannen! Where do you want to go for lunch today?" asked his close friend, Kaito.

"Um..well, I'm not sure. Maybe the new ice cream parlor would be good." He replied.

His friends nodded in agreement.

He heard footsteps walking along the corridor and heard a classmate saying, "Seijitaka sensei is here!"

The students quickly hurried to their seats and greeted him as soon as he walked in and placed his books down on the teacher's desk.

The atmosphere seems a bit different, Mannen thought to himself.

"Class, we have a new student joining to our class today," he signaled somebody, who was standing quietly at the doorstep, to walk in.

The class was suddenly heard whispering to each other and had some gasping in amazement.

She was a beauty; long soft shiny dark brown hair, a really cute and cheerful, though she seemed quiet, looking girl. Her deep green eyes were as sparkly as the night's brightest star.

"This is Shimizu Tatsumie. She will join your class for the rest of the year so please, I would you to be nice to her. Anyone one would like to be her guide and guide her around the school?"

In an instant, many hands were enthusiastically raised high in the air; some were calling "Pick me! Pick me!"

Seijitaka sensei looked around, then to Mannen's direction; Mannen was just resting his arms on his desk not doing anything, just looking at the girl. His heart was pounding fast, incredibly fast, his face felt red hot like the burning sun scorching his cheeks. He breathed hard but with difficultly.

"Mannen, I will choose you to guide her round the school and the rest of you, be nice and try to make friends with her." he instructed. The hands being raised up suddenly wilted and even gave disappointed comments and looks. His friends nudged his shoulders and congratulated him.

Shimizu looked at Mannen and smiled sweetly.

He looked and smiled back shyly.
